Etymology 2

Apocopic form of skall, present tense of skola (see there for additional senses and examples), from skulu, from Proto-Germanic *skulaną.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /skɑː/
• (Gothenburg) IPA^(key): /ˈskaː/

Verb

ska

1. will, be going to; denotes a promise or strong intent to perform an action in the future

3. shall, have to; be required to

4. to be said to, to be claimed, to be alleged

6. (with an adverbial involving movement or direction) to intend (for) to go (to/towards) (as if a gå (“walk”), åka (“drive, go”), följa (“follow”), resa (“travel”), or the like had been elided); compare constructions like "I want home" in English.

Usage notes

• The construction in (sense 4) is commonly used with vilja (“want”) and måste (“must”) as well, and may occasionally be used with for example borde (“should, ought to”).
• Not old-fashioned or formal like English shall in (sense 2), but a perfect match for meaning (which is usually the case for other senses as well). Skall is an older or more formal spelling and pronunciation for the present tense, which does match English shall in tone. See also the usage notes for skall.
• Infinitive and supine are rarely (if ever) used, and may be considered archaic, but see skola for some additional senses and examples related to other forms.
• kommer att may also be used to denote a future action, but while it denotes something inevitable (something absolutely certain), ska refers to something which is required, intended, or a promise. Compare also bör, which is a (very) strong recommendation, but not without possibility to wiggle out of; and måste (must) which is used when there is a compelling need to do something:
